Abstract: A susceptor for supporting a crucible includes a body with an interior surface defining a cavity. A coating is disposed on the interior surface to provide a barrier for preventing contact between the body of the susceptor and the crucible disposed within the cavity.

Abstract: A method of bonding a first silica part to a second silica part includes coating contacting surfaces of the first and second silica parts with a solution having one of silica and silica precursors. The coated surfaces of the first silica part are placed adjacent to the coated surfaces of the second silica part to form an assembly, and the assembly is heated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for forming an ingot from a melt are disclosed. A system includes a crucible defining a cavity for receiving the melt, and a first and second barrier to inhibit movement of the melt. A first passageway and a second passageway are arranged to allow the melt located within an outer zone to move into and through a transition zone and into an inner zone. Conditioning members are placed in at least one of the zones and arranged to contact the melt to reduce the number of micro-voids in the melt.
